Ours was a ‘custom’ with captains chairs and stereo and TV system. It was very comfortable on long trips. And the gas mileage was pretty good too, 22-25 mpg on highway................

Ours is a still nice-looking white Astro van with a nice trim package. It has AWD that is not working right currently. I am hopeful that all it needs is a new transfer case motor.
The two back seats which carry 3 passengers each come out easily leaving a space big enough to carry 4x8 sheets of plywood, or 10-foot dimensional lumber with door back door closed. We have racks for ladders or longer wood or other items. We carry a tandem kayak on it frequently.
My wife is a historian, and we carry large displays in it frequently, along with tools and materials that we needed while we were restoring a 120-year-old house. For us it was more convenient than a pickup especially when you tow a utility trailer behind it.
We get similar highway mileage with it. It does about the same as our ten-year-old Ford Explorer around town. We paid $4300 for the van at a state auction about ten years ago. Despite the 150,000 we put on it... they are in demand, and it is still worth over $3000 in the current market.
